I've had Bhut Jolokia in the form of Dave's ghost pepper hot sauce. It was truly the hottest thing I've ever eaten.

I bought it for my Thai fiancee who can never seem to sate her craving for something spicy. A tiny drop of it in a large pot of food makes it on fire. She adds a drop of it in a single serving of food and it's ridiculous. Your ears start to pop and it's just insanely hot. I really don't like spicy things but I found it to be quite good.

I once tried to eat a pizza roll straight out of the oven, I couldn't taste anything for 3 days. As for spicy foods I once tried some "After Death" hot sauce we bought at a world market. It was spicy but it didn't taste all that good.

Hey guys! Not every convention I go to as a Crunchyroll Ambassador is an Anime Convention! Last week I got back from Zest Fest 2013, a convention dedicated to all kinds of pepper-based foods (including things you wouldn't expect like desserts!)

With that in mind, today's question is simple: What's the hottest thing you've ever eaten?

If you didn't know, there's actually a scale for how spicy things are! It's determined by dissolving the active ingredient in peppers with alcohol and determining how much "capsaicin" there is by volume! Think about the spiciest dish you've ever eaten, and try to find how many "Heat Units" it has on the "Scoville" scale!
(If you don't like peppers, don't worry: the pain is the pepper's way of telling us not to eat the seeds since mammals, unlike birds, digest the pepper seeds when we eat them.)

I'm Guyanese so the Wiri Wiri ( we call it Mari pepper for some reason ) is a staple in our diet. It has a really good flavor. Definitely sure I've had some others like the Red Savina and it was either a Trinidad Scorpion or Moruga, not too sure though.

I would say that 1.5 mil is the highest I've been on the Scoville scale but not higher. Too much pepper can kill the overall taste of food and defeat the purpose of eating it.

Mixing Pepper is also really awesome though. Mixing fruits like mango or tamarind into it helps give it nice flavor and texture. Cucumbers and a vinegar/lemon mix gives it a nice cool but refreshing mix. Mango for those who are familiar with chutney. And one of my all time favorite is mixing it in with coconut which gives it a nice creamy and hot mix. That I could eat all day by itself.

Now I'm hungry......

BTW I think the video was pretty awesome. I personally don't go the route of store bought. I have friends and family who make it at home. It's a hit or miss once in a while and I do lose out on variety but I'm OK with that.

I have eaten homemade chicken wings soaked in a sauce made with habanero and ghost peppers. By far the hottest thing I have ever eaten in my life. Nobody tells you it hurts just as much on the way out...

A roadside 50's diner has "The source", and has an open challenge for people to eat a bowl of chili. Those that finish it eat free the next time they come in (2 meals) And this guy puts in enough to make challengers cry.

I like some of it on my eggs when I go there, out of the 20 or so attempts at his chili challenge, I managed to finish twice. All of them if you count me taking the left overs home.

That sht is not something to mess around with The Bhat Jolokia and Naga vergas is something you need to train on before you can even think about handling the the 7mill stuff.

Seems like habanero and the bhut jolokia are very popular! But has anyone else tried the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and its related variants?

Thank you! You might be interested in some of my other "Hot Sauce Adventures" on YouTube!

Also, last year I got a chance to show Nobuo Uematsu and his band, Earthbound Papas, around Texas! When we went to Whataburger, the famed Final Fantasy composer also subjected himself to 6,000,000 SHU!http://youtu.be/pjmb6BwkvlY

Steak coated with Law Enforcement Grade Pepper Spray with a side of ghost pepper sauce, 3 gallons of milk and a friend holding his cell phone just in case. None of us could get past the first bite...lol...
